All Chapters of The Dead Luna's Secret Son: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

•Lisa•The drive to the pack was painfully quiet, he would stare at me through the car mirror and smirk.Mike sat beside me in the back seat with his head resting against my shoulder. The medicine the doctor had given him had made him sleepy, and within minutes of leaving the city, his breathing became slow and steady.I gently brushed my fingers through his hair."Sleep, sweetheart," I whispered.He mumbled something I couldn't make out before drifting off completely.I looked out the window.The bright city lights slowly disappeared behind us, replaced by long stretches of dark road and dense forest. Every mile brought me closer to the life I had spent five years trying to escape.Across from us, Ronan remained silent.He hadn't looked at me with love since we left the apartment.His eyes only screamed “I’ll fuck her hell” as he occasionally looked out the window and I could feel it. Even without speaking, he filled the entire vehicle with his presence.The guards in the f

•Lisa•Sleep refused to come.The villa was silent, yet my mind was louder than it had ever been. Milo slept peacefully beside me, one arm wrapped around his stuffed wolf. I watched his chest rise and fall until I convinced myself he was truly resting before quietly pulling the blanket over him.Then I looked toward the bedside table.The moon-shaped necklace.I hadn't touched it since arriving.It rested exactly where it had been years ago, its silver chain catching the faint moonlight spilling through the window.My fingers trembled as I reached for it.The metal was cold.For a moment, I simply held it in my palm, staring at the tiny crescent moon hanging from the chain."You still kept it..."The words escaped before I realized I had spoken them aloud.A memory surfaced before I could stop it.I was seventeen.Ronan had disappeared for an entire afternoon, refusing to tell me where he had gone. By sunset, he returned covered in dust with a small wooden box hidden behi

•Ronan•The moment I stepped into the council chamber, I knew they had already made their decision.The room was too quiet.The elders who usually argued before I even arrived sat in complete silence, their eyes following every movement I made. They were not looking at me as their Alpha.They were looking at me as someone they were questioning.I walked toward the Alpha seat at the head of the table and stopped.I did not sit.Not yet.The twelve elders of the Blackthorn Pack surrounded the table, each carrying decades of experience, power, and influence. Some had served my father. Others had served my grandfather. They had watched Alphas rise and fall, and they believed their voices carried as much weight as the person sitting on the throne.Today, their concern was not about war.It was not about another pack threatening our borders.It was about one woman."Alpha Ronan," Elder Mike spoke first.His voice was calm, but I knew him well enough to recognize the challenge hi

•Lisa•I woke up with a scream trapped in my throat.For a few seconds, I didn’t know where I was.The darkness around me felt unfamiliar, even though I had spent the last few days inside the villa. My breathing was uneven, and my hands were shaking as I pushed myself upright.The room was quiet.Too quiet.I looked beside me immediately.Milo was still asleep.His small body was curled beneath the blanket, his stuffed wolf pressed against his chest. The sight of him calmed me for a moment, reminding me that he was safe.But the nightmare refused to disappear.I could still see it.The night I ran.The flames.The fear.The feeling that every person I trusted had turned their back on me.I pressed a hand against my chest and tried to steady my breathing.Five years.I had spent five years convincing myself that I had escaped the past.But being back here proved one thing.The past had never really left me.A soft sound interrupted my thoughts.I froze.At first, I

•Lisa•The note burned against my skin even though it was nothing more than a folded piece of paper.I forced myself to keep my face calm while Ronan stood a few feet away, his sharp eyes fixed on the bloody symbol across the window. Desmond examined the mark without saying much, and the guards searched the ground outside for footprints or anything that could explain how someone had entered the villa without being seen.No one noticed my hand slowly sliding into my pocket.No one noticed my fingers closing around the note.Good.That was exactly how I wanted it.If Ronan found out what those words actually meant, everything would change.“They know your son is alive.”Only a handful of people knew Milo existed. The doctors.A few nurses.Sasha.And me.No one in the Blackthorn Pack should have known.My heartbeat quickened.Someone had found us.Someone had followed me all these years without me realizing it.“Lisa.”Ronan’s voice pulled me back.I looked up.“Wha
